Torn: Corisande, Iolanthe, Vespera, Zenaida or Zephyrine

[name_f]Corisande[/name_f]: Medieval, Romantic, musical (means choir singer) and I’m from a musical family
[name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f]: Means [name_f]Violet[/name_f], many nicknames, very [name_m]Pagan[/name_m]
[name_f]Vespera[/name_f]: Means evening star, [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Bond[/name_m]-y
[name_f]Zenaida[/name_f]: [name_m]Saint[/name_m]'s name, genus of dove
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]: Means [name_u]West[/name_u] Wind. [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables reference (I’m Canadian)

Middle name will be [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] since it’s an important family name.

My favourite is definitely [name_f]Corisande[/name_f], and I think that [name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] would be an absolutely beautiful and unique name!

[name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f] is my second favourite, and [name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] sounds really nice too.

However, all of your name choices are pretty hard to pronounce. That is fine of course, as long as you’re OK with having to correct people.

Instead of [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] you could use [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], the name that [name_f]Anne[/name_f] so wants to be called. I also live in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] and I just love, love, love the [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables series. I think [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] would be a really pretty and meaningful name.

Good-luck! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Zenaida[/name_f] and [name_f]Vespera[/name_f] seem the easiest to wear. None of these names are exactly practical choices.

I really like [name_f]Vespera[/name_f]! But not [name_f]Vespera[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f].

[name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is lovely! This would be my top choice, but [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is a close second. Not a fan of [name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Zenaida[/name_f].

The suggestion of [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is a good one! Not quite as unique as the names on your list though. I have Avonlea on my list because of [name_f]Anne[/name_f], so that’s also a suggestion. But as to your original [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables honor name, [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] is beautiful and unique, so I would stick with it if you love it. As I said, it would be my second choice from your list:)

I vote for [name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]

[name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Vespera[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] would get my vote, I slightly prefer [name_f]Corisande[/name_f] for the musical meaning and [name_f]Cori[/name_f]/[name_u]Cory[/name_u]/[name_u]Corey[/name_u] nn possibilities

Another vote for [name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], gorgeous!

[name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is lovely.

[name_f]Corisande[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]… I like that if she’s a tomboy she can go by [name_f]Cori[/name_f] or Zep

mothers don’t think about this when naming their kids I feel like… I got the most popular name in my class which happens to be really girly… I love blue, football, bonfires, and trucks and my name does not match this

I think all of your name options are beautiful!

Personally, I love [name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] and it also has a musical tie thanks to the [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] and [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_f]Opera[/name_f] of the same name. I also think that [name_f]Vespera[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] has a nice lilt to it.

I like the suggestion of [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f].

I also like [name_f]Corisande[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Iolanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Vespera[/name_f], and [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] the most!

Vote for [name_f]Vespera[/name_f]. My next choice would be [name_f]Corisande[/name_f].
